Chapter 347 How did the exam go in Amu County? (2/2)



"good!"

Because Chi Qiao likes to eat dried shrimp, there is more than a pound of dried shrimp in the refrigerator.

Just as Chi Yu took out the shrimp shells, the sound of horses' hooves and Chen Kai's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Mu, Lord Fang has arrived. He and Constable Lü are behind him."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu went outside and happened to see Shen Kai driving the carriage into the courtyard.

"Ah Kai, where is the magistrate? Is it just him and Constable Lü, or is there someone else?"

"When we were at Tiaohuya Lake before, the adults wanted to come down and take a look, and then they wanted to walk on their own."

He and Constable Lü were the only ones busy; everyone else in the yamen was busy, so they asked me to convey their congratulations.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you're getting married tomorrow. Where's my brother Mu?"

“Amu and my older brother went into the mountains; not many potatoes are planted there.”

I didn't know if they would survive, so I just planted some randomly.

Now that they can actually receive the goods, they have to dig them up.

"By the way, Kai, do you know how to make dumplings? If so, come help me and my sister-in-law make them."

"Okay, I can wrap them."

Shen Kai never expected that there would be dumplings for dinner.

Just thinking about how delicious dumplings are makes his mouth water.

When he washed his hands and came over, Chi Yu waved to him.

"Kai, this dough needs to be kneaded a few more times. You have strong hands, so you knead it."

About twenty strokes should be enough. My sister-in-law will roll out the dough in a bit, and then we'll wrap them together.

"good!"

Three people can make dumplings really fast.

When Chen Xiaomai returned with the cleaned dandelion, the three of them had already made more than thirty dumplings.

They roll out large dumpling wrappers, so naturally the dumplings they make are also large.

It can be said that a dumpling is three times the size it would normally take.

When Chi Yu saw her, he said, "Third Sister-in-law, A-Kai said that Lord Fang has arrived. He came down from the lake earlier."

"Judging by the time I calculate, they should arrive soon. Put these dumplings in the steamer to steam."

Chen Xiaomai followed the direction Chi Yu pointed and was stunned when she saw the dumplings.

"Little Fish, aren't these dumplings too big?"

“My brother and Amu can all eat it, it’s okay if they’re a little bigger.”

"We'll make sixty of these big ones, and the rest can be made into smaller ones."

When I was mincing the fish, I calculated that six catties of meat, six catties of flour, and twelve catties of cabbage could make about three or four hundred normal dumplings.

One dumpling is equivalent to three dumplings. If you make sixty dumplings, you can make more than two hundred more with the leftovers.

She and her sister don't have big appetites; they each only need about fifteen normal-sized pieces.

The second and third sisters-in-law will receive larger portions, twenty each.

That means the four women occupy seventy spots, and the rest are for the men.

Even if there are many of them, around three hundred should be enough to feed them, right?

If that's not enough, she'll find another excuse later to take out a few coarse flour pancakes she made earlier from her space.

Thinking this, she made dumplings faster and faster.

But she quickly realized what she was doing and asked, "Kai, didn't you take Brother Wen and the others down the mountain before?"

So you came back alone this time? Where are the others?

"Sister-in-law, they said that everyone is having a hard time these days, so they won't be coming over."

"They'll come again when you all come down the mountain and Brother Mu treats everyone to a meal."

Chi Yu didn't press the matter. After nodding, she asked, "Did Amu come over right after finishing the county exam?"

Do you know how he did on his exams when you came down the mountain this time?

Speaking of the county examination, Shen Kai puffed out his chest with pride, his face full of arrogance.
